The mines were underground and very sinuous, as the miners attempted to <br /> follow the river channel deposits containing the uranium. Many of these same mines are being reentered today, and further developed. <br /> There remains an abundant uranium resource within southwestern Colorado and the central Rocky Mountains of Colorado. <br /> www.theupa.org/uranium_in_america/ 3/10 <br />
